LASIK DIRECTORY

This website provides vision correction candidates with up-to-date, accurate information about LASIK, a laser vision correction procedure designed to reduce or eliminate your dependency on glasses and contact lens.

In order to achieve optimal results, patients should be educated about the procedure's history and the types available, such as Blade-Free LASIK, Epi-LASIK, and Custom LASIK. LASIK can be difficult to understand for some candidates. Once better educated, patients can proceed to find and contact qualified surgeons in their area by searching our directory of practices.

Questions to ask when selecting a surgeon:

1. How long have you been performing LASIK Eye Surgery?
2. How much experience do you have with the procedure and Laser Vision Correction in general?
3. How do you define success? What is your success rate? What is the chance for me (with my correction) to achieve 20/20? How many of your patients have achieved 20/20 or 20/40 vision? How many patients return for enhancements?
4. Which excimer laser does your surgeon use for vision correction? Make sure your surgeon is using a laser approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). See the list of lasers approved by the FDA.
5. What and who is involved in post operative care?
